First to Illustrate Bible No one knows who was the first to Illustrate the Bible. Much of this work was done In convents, many of which kept a targe number of monks constantly at work making copies of the Bible by band. It may be that descriptions ofangebi were handed down by tradition from the shepherds or others professing to have seen these celestial visitors; also, In the description of the angel at the sepulchre it

was said. “Ills raiment was as white Is snow.” (Matthew. 28:3.) However, on the whole it may be safely said that pictures of angels are fanciful treatlons in which each artist expresses his own ideas of the beautiful. What “Pan-Fish" Ara. The term pan-fish is many times misinterpreted. Some seem to think that this includes only an Inferior sort of spectra and others that it Is merely a term applicable to moat any ttsh which hapjtens to be taken and which

— is edible, says the Sportsman’s Digest. The true pan-fish is composed of email but game dwellers of the singing waters of brooks, creeks and rivers and the shore lines of the lakes. Bream (blue-gill or sunfish), rock bass, yellow perch, ringed perch and the horny chub or dace, are all part and parcel of the pan-fish tribe. i ,~m ii NMim i mini aManiMMin I i , > Wholesale Telegraphing.

One of the ’Greatest Services America and Britain Can Perform for World? k By FRANK B. KELLOGG, Ambassador to Great Britain A T THIS time, when Europe is divided by age-long racial hatreds, commercial rivalries and national jealousies, and when some governments have broken down, and ruin and starvation face | the peoples, it is my judgment that one of the greatest services that the United States and British governments can perform for the world is to set examples of fair and broad-minded statesmanship in international dealings, maintain the sacredness and inviolability of their treaties, deal with all nations, large and small, with a spirit of fairness and tolerance, keep our own houses in order and maintain in their purity the fundamental principles on which our governments are founded. I personally favor the codification of international law rendering easier decisions of judiciable questions arising between nations nder treaties and international law, arbitration through some sort of international court of justice and the limitation of naval armaments and land forces. Individuals, in their relations to the state and society, are governed by principles of law. Why should uot nations, in their dealings and relations, be regulated by settled principles of law? At the pan-American conference last spring we unanimously adopted a resolution reviving and reconstituting a commission for the study and codification of public, private and international law and to renew the work interrupted by the breaking out of the wax. I believe that this will be accomplished and that it will be the foundation for the establishment of settled principles for the government of nations. No question is of more importance today than the extension of arbitral and judicial settlement of disputes on all questions arising under treaties and the well-settled principles of international law. “You See, My Life Has Been Devoted to the Farm and to My Family” By MRS. MAGNUS JOHNSON, Wife of Minnesota Senator. I think Washington is a beautiful city, and I am glad to be here. But it is the first time the family has been separated, and if the children were here I should be quite happy, although I do miss the farm. I’ll admit. I suppose I must be considered a bit old-fashioned because I do not play bridge; I do not understand it, and I have never had the time to attempt it. I don't dance, either, and I don’t play golf or tennis, and Ido not go in for all the latest fads in dress. You see, my life has been devoted to the farm and my family, and I have found the greatest happiness in these two interests. Unlike most folks, I suppose, who come here to live, we have made no social plans, as you call them. We are just simple people, and if anyone cares to drop in on us, same as they do at home, we shall always be happy to see them. In the short time we have been here everybody has been awfully friendly, and I have been asked to join some of organizations. But, looking after my house, I don’t think I shall have much time to go about. It Is Not Enough That Everybody May Be Taught to Read and Write By MRS. MAUD WOOD PARK, National League of Women Voters. We cannot set aside a chosen few and train them to be the ruling brain for all, or select an unhappy few for servitude. Nevertheless, the training for citizenship is an important part of any program. It is not enough that we shall work to the end that everybody may be taught to read and write. The nation will continue to suffer from real illiteracy as long as there is any qualified voter, man or woman, who cannot trace the responsibility for evil government to his own door; as long as the geography of politics is not as well understood as the geography of states. I am sorry to say that we have many illiterates in this sense of the word among us. The removal of the stain of illiteracy is a task for the men and women of the nation, and for the performance of this task we have one indisp nsahle tool, the ballot. We cannot secure education for all our people unless we bring out the strength of all the voters to enforce their demands. The first thing to do, I believe, is to foster a new ideal of citizenship. — I ' ! The House Cat and the Emersonian Question — Why So Hot, Little Man? By WILLIAM JJTON PHELPS, in Scribner’s Magazine. I believe that every household should contain a cat, not only for decorative and domestic values, but because the cat in quiescence is both a rebuke and an inspiration to irritable, tense, restless and tortured men and women. In spite of the fact that there are a hundred books published every year in which human beings are told to “relax”—tremendous and continued energy seems to be required in order to keep quiet—very few men, women and children have mastered even the elementary principles of repose. Now, when the cat decides to take his repose, he not only liea down; he pours his body out on the floor like a glass of water. It is restful merely to behold him. ... The cat seems to put up to the householder every day the Emersonian > question—Why so hot, little man ? Democracy Is on Trial: The Movie Is One of the Tests of Its Quality By LOUISE HAMBURGER, in Drama. The tremendous world-wide power of ffc* movies makes it the sacred duty of every person of culture, of education, of vision to help guide their destiny. If you do not, the low-minded, the, vicious and the stupid will. Democracy is on trial now as it never was before; the movie is one of the tests of its quality. What will the movie of the future reveal ? How will it show up the soul of America? Will the movie of the future be a cheap, insincere, tawdry, banal, sentimental thing, or will it be a big, primal, generous, joyous picturing of life in terms of reality and beauty? The moving picture is capable of welding the world into a genuine democracy—a democracy of people who understand the same language, sense the same emotional heights and depths, and thrill to the same humanitarian patriotism. The moving picture is the level upon which democracy will tarn, liberating thousands of imprisoned souls, waking thousands of dumb sleepers, swelling the procession of articulate workers who believe that truth and beauty will save the world. Prof. T. C. Holman, Baptist Modernist.—Modernism in the minds of many implies merely a negative attitude. On the contrary, the modernfat is not negative but is possessed of an overmastering, positive conviction that Gospel truths are supreme in the world and that the needs of the modern world can be met only in the spirit and attitude of Jesus. Kathleen Noma—The longer I live the more thoroughly convinced I am that happiness in this life for some of us is less a question of what one has than of what one’s immediate neighbors have. The average woman can't be happy, no matter how mod) she has, if some woman in her immediate group has more. r

BS DaWs Fairy Tale GRAHAM BONNER ■Il HRMin W VUTMM HtWMU UHOH ■— - — THE CIRCUS PARADE “The parade Is coming, the parade is coming!” shouted everyone, and In

the distance the sound of the band was heard. And everyone stood along the sidewalks or looked down from windows, or ran in the direction from which the music came so they could march along the streets near the 'parade. The music kept getting louder and louder. It was coming

wWw

-The Parade Is nearer and nearer. Coming.” There were I elephants. Oh, hovr beautiful they were! They were so big and they looked out of their small eyes as though to say: “Bring peanuts when you come to see us. We’ve got good appetites. And why shouldn’t we have when you look at how enormous we are! ‘ "We’ve’seen people—not big as we are—eat a great, great meal, and small people, too! Well, just think then | about us and our size and our —appe- I tites!’’ Then came the camels and ladies rode upon the camels. The camels did not look to the right, nor to the left, except when some one rode by on a motorcycle the camels moved their bodies sideways as though to say: “Where we came from they didn’t have queer, noisy things like that! “We wouldn’t like anything of the sort. Fancy us lowering our dignity by riding on such a thing. "That’s all right for people, but not for camels.” The sun shone down upon the parade and every costume seemed to dazzle and sparkle in the bright light. Clowns rode upon some of the high wagons and looked down and made funny remarks as they went by. And one of them winked at a little boy named George and said: “My name is George; what is yours?" “Mine is George, too!” the boy shouted back. And the clown made a great bow and the people saw all this, and many of the circus people saw it, too, which made it very exciting and nice. Wasn’t that a pleasant thing to have happen? The ponies were so cunning and some very little people rode upon them. There were several enormous lions who rode in cages and who looked out at the people as though to say: KL “Admire us if you like. We don’t mind, bnt neither q Z | will it thrill us. “With our great U lion dignity we will not make a fuss so as to gain your praise.” 4 A Suclua parade as i>- ■*<>. it was! And it f spoke well for the circus to be held \-,V that afternoon. -Ji Oh yes, in the ssc r * afternoon there I— - would be the cir- « Mine ls Geor ge, ! cus and in the Too.” ' evening, too. And all those who watched the parade said to each other: “Are you going to the circus?” “Os course! Are you?” “Os course!” Teachers Are Happy Now Frank and Willie Allen, twins, of Windsor, England, looked alike, dressed alike and talked alike. From the day they started to school they had their masters guessing. To make matters worse, their marks always were the same. If Frank failed, Willie failed. But now their teachers are sighing with relief. Willie h*s outstripped Frank in spelling and has been promoted to a higher form. And Frank has got the edge on Willie in athletics. So now it’s not half so dis- , flcult to tell them apart. Starfish If a starfish is turned over upon its upper surface it rights Itself by bending two arms backward until they are beneath the disk and then lifting until it falls on its lower surface, says Nature Magazine. If the nerve-ring, which encircles the mouth, is severed, the animal cannot right itself. The Reason? “A fool,” said the professor to the student who asked a catch question, "can ask tilings a wise man can’t answer." “Is that the reason," asked a student in the back row, “why I flunked last term, in thhi subject?” All Made Clear _ Teacher —Johnny, what are the two genders? Johnny—Masculine and feminine. The masculines are divided into tem perate and intemperate and the feminine into frigid and torrid. —American Legion Weekly. .

AND’*!® BELLS THAT QUESTION OF AGE ,A pretty six teen-year-old flapper attended a dance the other night and while taking lunch afterward at a case saw one of the leading citizens of the town in the case. “I never was so shocked in my life,” she said in recounting the experience, "as when I went.-into the restaurant and saw him there. Think of him being there at 1 o’clock in the morning.” Seasonal Cheer. “What you need, man," said the doo i tor, "is a complete rest.” "What!” The busy patient sat up i agitatedly. “Why, I can’t go away, doctor; it is impossible." “I didn’t suggest it,” said the medicoi, I said is that you need a complete rest. Send your family to Euv rope, sell your car and burn your golf Sticks.” ; Restraint “Before we were married you called pie an angel 1” I “I know it.” “And now you don’t call me anything.” “You ought to be sincerely glad that I possess such self-control.’’ Life’s Little Surprises. “It surprised me that Ed married NelL He hardly knew her.” “It would have surprised me morq if he had married her, 1 nowing hez as she really is.” AND MAYBE ALL SLATE TTiT- OTTICK . ‘T - “That dealer has me on the slatq for five tons of coal, but I haven’t gotten it yet.” “Oh, you’ll get it —slate and all I” But Not Already. Some day a paper scarcity Will cause the world to fret. The poor old paper mark may be Os some slight value yet. Too Much Resemblance. “Don’t you think that young man ! is nice, mamma?" : “I do not, my dear. He looks too much like your father when he was a 1 young man.” —Le Rire. Bang! Bang! Bang!
